Different people have different ways, Bill. My mate John had ever such a soft voice and when asked, repeatedly, to sing something Irish by drunken man at the bar. He walked over and, ever so gently, whispered...

"F*** off or I will kick the s*** out of you.'

In an off-stage aside type manner.

The pub was filled with a rugby team and supporters who, entrhalled by Johns songs, proceded to give a huge cheer and carry said drunken man out at shoulder height:-D

Eeeeeeh. the kids nowaays are nowt but hooligans...

Cheers
